Courageous(Can i love again?)

Chapter 12

Keira's POV

"Now go" I said then I wave my hand to shoo him away. He left my desk annoyed and I knew he was annoyed with me.

"I just want to have dinner with you because of that publicity. We need to do that to maintain our public figure. So don't be full of yourself and thinks that I really want to have dinner with you" He said while smirking. I was a little annoyed by what he said, but I still manage to smile at him and spoke.

"Oh right, because your public figure is ruined again because of your own doings. Did I tell you to be careful?" I said smiling sarcastically.

He smirked again and sat on the sofa then spoke.

"What can I do, those girls are the ones who trowing themselves to me" He said so proudly.

"You're really is a shameless jerk" I said and he looked at me badly.

"Don't call me that" He said as if angry.

"Why? Did I hurt your ego Mister? Or did I say the wrong word to describe you? Was it playboy? Jerk? But you really are a shameless one, that suits you" I said and he approached me and pulled me closer to him so I stood up. He's raging with anger right now I can feel it but he can't intimidate me. Never.

"No one calls me that. So you don't have the right to call me that" He said, I smirk and brought my face close to his.

"I don't care. If I want to call you that you can't do anything about that. No one can order me what to say or what to do, especially you" I said and I parted with him and sat down then continued what I was doing.

I can hear his breathing, I know he's furious now.

"Leave" I said.

"I'm gonna fetch you later for dinner. Stop being so stubborn and just come with me" He said as if being forced to speak calmly.

I didn't answer so he came out and slam the door of my office so I was a little surprised.

"Stupid" I whispered. When he got out Shane came in.

"Miss are you okay?" She asked, maybe she saw the angry face of that man.

"Yeah, better" I said with a smile. I won again.

While I was doing my work, my phone rang indicating a text came in. And it was from him telling me about that dinner with him. I just rolled my eyes because of that then I leaned back in my chair.

"If he wasn't that kind of a guy, maybe, maybe... maybe I would like him. But no, that thing would never gonna happen. I swear on that" I said to myself.

It's already 6 pm and he said he's going to pick up me at 6:30 pm, but I don't feel like going anywhere so I'm just going to ignore him.

A few minutes passed and I decided to go home and get some rest.

"Shane, you're still here?" I asked when I saw Shane still at her desk. I looked at my watch and then spoke.

"It's already past your working hours. Go home so you can rest too. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow. You need to rest, okay" I said as I looked for my car keys in my bag.

Then someone spoke so I stopped.

"Did you forget about us going out tonight?" He said so I looked up. I sigh because seeing that face of him irritates me and makes me tired.

"Shane, go home okay" I told Shane ignoring this annoying man, she smiled and nodded at me, then I walked to the elevator. I didn't know that this man was following me.

He doesn't speak so it's okay, I also don't want to talk to him.

I took the elevator straight to the basement of my building which is a parking lot. He was still following me, when I opened the door of my car he suddenly took my hand and forced me to face him.

"You're going with me" He said while staring at me then pulled me or should I say dragged. I was trying to get off his grip on me but he was stronger than me.

"Let me go!" I shouted at him. He stopped and ushered me into the passenger seat of his car. I glared at him but he just smirked at me and closed the door then turned around and got in the driver's seat.

I just frowned and didn't say a word.

"You're still beautiful even if your frowning right now" He said with a laugh. He thought I would be thrilled because of what he said, he's just making me laugh.

"Tsk" He still heard and laughed at me even more. Actually, he had a beautiful laugh, if only all that was true. But no.

Well, I don't care because I don't need a man to make me happy or to accompany me. I will rather be alone than be with him forever. This marriage thing will not gonna be forever, I will make sure of that.

When we got to the restaurant he helped me out of the car, I didn't want to accept his hand but I saw some media so I accepted it and I smiled at him too. I know that he knew about that too.

"Good evening Ms. Keira and Mr. Viglianco" The receptionist greeted us after we entered. I smiled at them but this one has a poker face.

"Let me guide you to your table. This way please" The manager said and we followed him. When we arrived I spoke.

"Thank you" I said then he was so happy.

"You're welcome Ms. Keira. You really have a face like a goddess, you're so beautiful ma'am" He said, he's gay it's obvious in his voice. I just smiled at him.

He was about to pull my chair for me when this man suddenly stopped him.

"I can do that. You may go" He said to the manager with a tone that seemed angry so I could see the fear on his face, he spoke before leaving. He pulled up my chair so I just sat quietly.

"Sorry, sir. I'm gonna go get a waiter to assist you with your orders. Excuse me." He said with a smile then quickly left, this one was still staring badly at the manager.

I just smirk and I know he heard that, so what? I get my phone to divert my mood. It's even better to scroll on social media than to look at the face of the man with me.

"Can you put away that damn phone of yours?" He said annoyed. I just shake my head and look at him smiling.

"No" I said and looked back at my phone. I didn't realize that he left his seat and went in front of me so I looked up at him with a frown.

"What?" I asked her. He just stared at me badly then grabbed my phone from me so I stood up to take it from him but failed he raised his hand so I couldn't reach, then suddenly someone spoke.

"Honey?"
